I tell you I have this theory. It goes where, you're the one who's not my sister. Cuz mom adopted you from a shoe box full of baby howler monkeys, and never told you cuz it could hurt your delicate baby feelings.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

Scar on the toe? Yep, that would do it...

Damn it!

connie, I was able to salvage about two paragraphs of actual text in the middle of a lot of "plain text" code. It's very tantalising.

Want Word doc. Want now.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."

Yeah, I cut myself up pretty good. And I had a honker of a bruise on one arm and I had to be mostly naked in Pippin the next week and the director was fit to be tied and, ok now I'm rambling.

Maybe it's time for me to lay some of these years out on paper, because it seems like I'm going back to them a lot more of late.

Lilty, considering that my entire midlife meltdown has been both eviscerated for public consumption in the form of drabbles, and forced under my own nose to recover using the same form, I am all about the revisiting of years.

But why was I under the impression you were a youngster? From my creaking 50-year-old seat, that is?

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."

Oh, I am. Somewhat. "Re-visit" may be the wrong terminology, but there were a lot of things that happened a few years back that I never really dealt with, as sitting down and shutting up is usually my way. Now, I feel like writing down all the stuff I never said.

And to me, things that happened five years ago feel like they happened fifteen ago.

Oh, I wasn't dissing, not the age, not the time line, not the experience. I did what I expect will be the great crammed-in bulk of my living before I was about 23. I'm still trying to recover some of the stuff from those years.

Writing is a good, good thing.

Huh. I'm rewriting the first scene that's in Anna's POV. It feels like she should break into "Going Through the Motions" at any moment now.

I wonder if I'm overdoing the misery.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

connie, will you send me the thing in the body of an email? I'll C&P to Word, and send as an attachment to Deb. I'd love to read it, too, if you're willing to let me.

Beta, beta, anyone up for a quick beta?

Susan, send. It may be a bit later on, though, if that's OK.
